Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Bath re-enamelling in Haslar without replacing anything

We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. Whether it’s wear marks under the taps and lots of chips and rust spots, we can normally put it right, on basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and acrylic baths alike.

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Hampshire.

When to call us in Haslar

Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, peeling around the waste or bubbling. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.

Most people contact us after spotting something like this:

  • Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change

Comparing quotes

  • If travel is included in the price
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

10 questions to ask before booking

How to care for the repair

To keep it looking its best:

  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Have chips seen to early
  • Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured

Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

Haslar questions

Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?

Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

What do you need from me?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Will there be fumes?

A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.

What happens on the day

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes the best part of a day. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

How to get a price

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Related advice

What we cannot put right

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

  • Acrylic baths
  • Victorian roll-tops
  • Cast iron baths
  • Basins & shower trays
  • Pressed steel baths

Should you replace it?

A refit takes several trades and several days. Re-enamelling takes one technician and normally one day, with the bath ready the day after. Prices start from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How hard the colour is to match

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to get a fixed price

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
